Basketball Information - Tryouts
BASKETBALL INFORMATION
2025-2026 Girls Basketball Team
Coach: Dave Knoble
Tryouts will take place on November 12th and 13th. Try-outs will be held from 3:30 until 5:15. Tryouts will be held at the Elementary School. Tryouts are open for any athlete in grades six through eighth grade. Having prior experience is a bonus, but not necessary. Please make sure the nurse has all updated physicals from the doctor. Any questions, please contact the school nurse.
Players must attend both days of tryouts.
Parents/ guardians, please wait outside the gym for your daughter to pickup. Having visitors watch from inside the gym can cause anxiety for the participants trying out for the team. I will try to dismiss promptly at 5:15.
Skills that will be evaluated
Dribbling with both hands ( various drills will be used)
Passing ability ( standing still and on the move incorporated in drills )
Shooting from different points of the floor
Lay-ups from both sides
Rebounding ability
Court awareness - offense and defense
Hustle
There will also be scrimmages to help evaluate. I will be using the format of 1 v 1, 3 v 3 and 5 v 5. This is a time when I look for individual effort and hustle.
At the beginning of tryouts, a number will be given to each girl. The number will be posted if that individual made the team. No names will be posted.
There will be an A and B team. The purpose of the B team is to develop skills and teach the fundamentals of the game. The A game will be for those that are ready to compete at a higher level. Players that start on the A team will not play in the B games. Players that play some during the A game may also play during the B game. There may be players that will strictly play on the B team.
Good luck to all players. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.
